Gift
shop (and reception)
A small, exclusive gift-shop focuses on regional art and handicraft. We buy
straight from the artisans. This helps the local economy directly and they
are encouraged to find more efficient, and quality-conscious ways to make
their products.
We also sell articles from local women groups, like the Vema Women (Vema is
a Swahili word for well being) organised by the Maryknoll Sisters.
Restaurants
and bar
Three separate round buildings are joined by a large terrace, which overlooks
Lake Victoria. There is a well-stocked bar with a good choice of South African
wines. The restaurant offers a blend of international and Tanzanian cuisine;
and is specialised in fresh fish from the lake and uses vegetables and fruits
from the local fields.
The owners have trained the staff,
and the quality and refinement that has been achieved, will surprise you.
Also here, the size and set-up guarantees plenty of personal attention. There
are no large buffets; each client can make his or her choice, and the staff
will be happy to cater for your special wishes and diets.
Your breakfast or lunch can be served on the terrace of your bungalow at any
time you wish, or a table will be set for you on the terrace of the restaurant
or in the garden.
Mountain
bike trips
Venture out into the heart of Sukumaland by mountain bike. In the Masamba
Hills the only means of transportation is a bicycle. That is why there are
numerous small tracks and no cars. It gives a good picture of what most of
Tanzania still looks like ‘off the beaten track’. The guided trip takes about
four hours and is best taken in the (late) afternoon.
